The Lighter Side

By Heather

I know that from my first post I gave the impression that retail, no matter what, is always a steaming pile of crap. But on the contrary my friends, there is, for however brief it may be, a good day. I came into work today with the same sunny disposition that I normally have and every customer I had was incredibly fantastic, happy, and I was able to joke with them. It was all around a good day. And to top it off I caught a guy trying to steal over a thousand dollars worth of merchandise. (those of you doubting the dollar amount keep in mind I work at a large hardware superstore, its not a difficult feet to accomplish.) So that always makes me happy catching stupid people doing stupid things.
But on the lighter side today rocked even though I closed the store today and have to be there tomorrow for morning at 5am. These days are rare so those of you in retail, respect them, and love them. Because you know the very next day your gonna get the very same lady arguing for you to give her ten percent off not because the product is damaged or she has a coupon, nope, she just wants it for the hell of it.
